Oh dear!

Morning, I use labret posts as earrings as I don't like the butterfly ones as I manage to catch them etc... I managed to get hold of some that had a smaller end to the post and wanted to change them today - my ears need a really good clean as well. I usually get in bit of a tizzy when I change them. So, I stayed relaxed and for love of money these will not undo. Well, I got one undone but, I have quite a few to do. I have tried a little piercing oil (which, I didn't really want to do) should they had been gunged up and also vinyl gloves (I have not got any rubber gloves at the mo). I still cannot get the balls off. Tried clamping with tweezers etc... I have to now admit I cannot cope with them. Could anyone one here say that the push type are any good? Are they cope-able?

Sorry, to go on but, trying not to be upset. I think I will be going to my piercers sooner than I think. lol....... Are the push type easy to find online etc...? - Many thanks!

Left side - Ear Lobes 1,2,3 Daith, Helix, Rook and Lower Conch.

Right side -Ear Lobes 1,2,3 Daith, Tragus, Nostril, Helix and sadly retired Eyebrow. :( <-- Re-pierced now next to the old one - it's only taken me nearly 22 years!

I started all this around 9.30am this morning and it has taken until now to finally change 4 Labret posts. How embarrassing! I didn't get into a tizzy (very glad) but, the swear box was quite full. I'm going to enquire about Neometal push in's type ones. I can't be doing with the palaver of it all - too much for me. (That is excellent Neometal is titanium.)
